zerow Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 It Was An 73' L18 Daftinnovations Killed Micro's Dream But At Lest Those Parts Are Going To A 610 Owner And Not Begin Sold For Profit But Whatever You Do PLEASE Don't Put Them On A Fucking Honda :no: Kill a dream? Yes, I will stand by that one. However... You post about a car within a community of Datsun owners without thinking that someone may want to save a car somewhere along the way. Kinda like telling a group of homeless people that there is a huge stash of food and shelter for just one person...GO! Of course there's going to be a race, of course theres going to be fighting, and ultimately, the people geographically closest to this car won. Plain and simple. I have a network of 610 guys right on my cell phone (you know who you are...), and if I come up on 610 parts or whatever, I start dropping dimes on heads to let them know. Easy. Quote Link to comment
daftinnovations Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Rich, I hope that stuff made it to your coupe...It is at least the same color...did you get the front bumper? BTW, I've seen a '73 wagon rear bumper work on a '75 and later sport coupe...Its the only bumper that works with the back end of your car because of the taillight and license plate configuration... shit maybe I should go get that bumper!!

Also i would have cashed picknpull out right when I seen if I was Micro's dream. Dude there not going on a civic.. it was a joke. But anyways They going on a 610 4 door. So NOTE!! I didn't crush anyone's dream. A friend of mine bought it. I was there to help and take pictures. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Incorrect... Those bumpers were used until July of 1973. In August of '73 through roughly the beginning of November 1973, the bumpers with small filler pieces in the turn signals would have been used. The fenders would have been '74, with the side marker lights, and the valence would be the style with the turn signals below the headlights. Also, the interior shots tell a similar story. The gauges are from a 1973: gunmetal gray with the rounded (arial) font. The '74 (any '74 for that matter) has the blue faced gauges with a "modern" type font, that font was used through the rest of the model run, the only change is the background in 1976 models, it went from blue back to gunmetal gray Without a doubt, this is a bonafide 1973 610 You 610 guys are so friggin serious....... .... good for you. :lol: Zerow there are some holes in my info from Nissan or I interpreted it wrong.

MicroMachinery Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 So NOTE!! I didn't crush anyone's dream. Cool story bro. "Hey man, there's a clean front end on this car up in Modesto, we gotta get there quick, though; some douche-bag up in Oregon is making plans to come get the entire thing, then you'd be screwed!" Yeah, maybe you didn't do it, but you're a part of this forum, and thus, a community, along with a couple other guys that knew about this thread(otherwise you wouldn't have known about the car and the location) Therefore you all knew there was certain hope for this wagon to be revived; and I promise you, it would have been. Glad your buddy's 74 has a 73 front end. Now everyone at the meets will think he's the man. :rolleyes: Good lookin' out. Quote Link to comment

69FJWagon Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Im not to sure about every wrecking yard but most around me here in the bay area any car that goes into the yard to be parted out can no longer be sold as a complete car to be registered and driven again...thats my understanding I inquired about a 68 4 door that was in one of the yards here years ago it was a complete rolling shell and they said no sale id have to buy it piece by piece if I wanted the whole car Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I was in contact with the yard. It was a done deal. The yard supervisor wanted so badly to help, and did everything she could, but it was against policy and a risk to her job. I tried paying over the phone, went up the chain of command, but they said I had to be there in person; no exceptions. So I lined up payment through a member on the forum, and he was all but on his way there to put the money down and have it taken off the yard when the bad news came on the forum. All I can say is, every duck was in a row on this one. It was going to happen. Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 thats a bummer, why doesn't someone in the area run a WANTED craigs list for Datsuns/Datsons, just maybe, be able to save them before they hit the P&S yards. Quote Link to comment
daftinnovations Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Once you buy a car from pick n pull it will become a salvage title. .. yes if you plan to keep the car for the rest of your life then it probably wont matter. The 2nd you try to sell it .. people will not want to pay what its worth because of that salvage.. when transferring to Oregon maybe you wouldn't have the salvage follow.. not sure. The 610 needed a lot of work.. not a gem in anyway shape or form. I will keep my eye out for a wagoon. good luck. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Salvage titles don't even make me flinch. If I buy a Datsun, it's not to turn it and sell it, especially if I'm venturing out of state for it. I had every intention, along with the resources, time, and ambition to redeem it, cherish and drive it. Maybe some day if I sold everything to move out of country I'd sell it to a very special person who also cared little for salvage titles, and was more concerned with the actual car itself. I'm a preservationist, and therefore, I don't do this for profit. I do it for the enjoyment and satisfaction of seeing these pieces of automotive history survive. Quote Link to comment

So everyone that is looking for 610 parts should stay away from the junkyard just because YOU wanted it? Get over it already... Quote Link to comment
